■ OUR CANDIDATE.
The Press and Standard warmly
seconds the resolutions of the local
bar association placing in nomination
the name of Hon. W. B. Gruber as a
candidate for Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of South Caro
lina, This nomination is of course
dependent upon the adoption of the
amendment to the State Constitution
providing for an increase in ihe
number of members of the Supreme
Court from four to five. But this
amendment will be adopted, as the
reasons for it are so many and so in
sistent. Among these are the possi
bility of a tie in case the court is
evenly divided, and the increased
amount of work devolving upon the
court
That the new meml>er should hail
from the lower part of the State is
conceded everywhere. The Supreme
Court at present consists of the fol
lowing: •
Chief Justice Ira B. Jones. Lan-
Icaster.
Associate Justices Eugene B
Gary, Abbeville; C. A. Woods. Mar
ion; D. E. Hydrick, Spartanburg.
. It will thus 1m* seen that the lower
part of the Slate is without repre
sentation and whenever it is neces-
sary for an attorney of this part of
the State to consult a member of the
Supreme Court, which is quite fre
quent, the distance to be traveled is
imuh greater than is necessary.
Therefore the logical candidate will
hail from the lower part of the State.
V\
There are from lower South Caro
lina two prospective candidates one
is the Hun. W\ B. Gruber and the
other Judge R. W. Merr.minger of
Charleston. Of these it appears to
us that Mr. Gruber, aside from his
superior personal qualifications, is
the logical candidate. Thia judicial
district has honored Charleston by
giving the judgeship to Mr. Mem-
minger; the congressional district is
represented by Hon. Geo. S. Legare,
a Charleston maq, and Judge Wil
liam H. Brawley of the United States
district court is a Charleston man,
as is the stenographer for the cir
cuit Chai lesion should not have all
the plums. But aside from this irre
sistible (Conclusion, the fitness of the
two candidates, their legal attain
ments and judicial frame of mind
resolves itself into a choice of Coll
ton’s candidate.
We are of the opinion that the
State Legislature would make no
mistake in elevating Judge Gruber
to a seat on the Supreme Court
bench. 1

FALL ADVERTISING.
The merchants of the town and
others are beginning their fall cam
paign of advertising in this county,
as will be seen by glancing at the
advertising columns of The Press
and Standard. We trust our read
ers carefully read the advertise-
menta each week, for in them are
many bargains offered, and much
can be saved by patronizing only
those who advertise in this paper.
A live merchant advertises himself,
the sheriff others.
Mias Eunice Glover leaves today

her studies at the Columbia College.
